Re: [kictanet] State Wrong on Internet Exchange Point , is it true
Emmanuel, i think Barack is on KIXP and not kenic. Kenic = domains , Kixp = exchange point internal bgsp or sharing of local traffic. regards Anthony On Sun, Dec 28, 1986 at 6:11 PM, Emmanuel Khisa <[email protected]>wrote:
I agree with Barrack on this one… I wonder wouldn’t it make more prudent sense to liberalise (away from the current Kenic monopoly) the Kenya ccTLD and have it open to other entrepreneurs? I am not sure there is any reason why a cartel should retain the right to run this critical resource at the expense of other Kenyans. Is it just me or someone else also sees the illogic of charging Ksh. 3000 for a domain in an era where other domain names are available for as little as Ksh.500. I know this has been said in this forum but isn’t it time action was taken…Dr. PS?
I believe this would make more sense than to have duplication of Exchange points at the expense of the taxpayers…Someone enlighten this forum.

Listers,
I was going through an article in the East African standard with the above mentioned title by the CEO of KIXP published on Sunday Dec 2009 in the East African Standard, am wondering is there a business case other than the security considerations highlighted that justifies the GIXP and if we could be allowed to access it or is it classified info?, in addition the writer has mentioned the Strengths of KIXP however i would also appreciate to know the weaknesses since they might justify the need for GIXP bearing in mind the fact that we are just coming out of the woods in so far as monopolies are concerned as i try to digest the article in any case having gone through http://www.bgp4.as/internet-exchanges it is evident there are a few developed countries with more that one Exchange point eg South Africa , the US, Sweden, Singapore, Russia and the UK, somebody educate me.

Antony, Noted!I however drew kenic in to emphasize the need to direct our priorities in the right places and therefore opined that the government is best served levelling the platform for the domain market instead of spending resources trying to duplicate roles already being played by KIXP by founding GIXP... Which my taxes will pay for by the way..where are our priorities Sent from my BlackBerry® -----Original Message----- From: gachuhi anthony <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 28 Dec 2009 21:20:19 To: Emmanuel Khisa<[email protected]> Cc: KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions<[email protected]> Subject: Re: [kictanet] State Wrong on Internet Exchange Point , is it true Emmanuel, i think Barack is on KIXP and not kenic.
